Cult hero - or favourite rubbish player?

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Far too good for this list!

We could shove Christophe Wreh up top and Steve Hughes in the middle. Any room for Ian Selley?

Selley was good when he started off, then got injured.

What about Stephan Malz, scored a good League Cup goal once I think?

George Johnstone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Joh ... ootballer)

This guy was worse than average. But every dog has his day. He scored the winning goal in an amazing 4-3 win at home to Leeds. He took the piss out of at least four defenders before scoring a perfect goal. Think George Best and Pele. They couldn't have done it better. :?

Vivas and Jensen. Absolute heroes. Not much in way of ability but both had commitment in abundance.
